While giving her little
daughter a graphic description of how a young boy disobeyed his mother and
was burned to death through playing with matches, a lady was astonished at the
child bursting into a violent fit of weeping.
“Remember, dear,” she said
gently, “if he had obeyed his mother and left the matches alone, he would not
have been hurt.”
“Oh, but why did his mother go
out and leave the matches there?” sobbed the little girl.
Before we denounce wrong-doing
in others, let us make sure that we have not put temptation in their way.
